Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated starter needs a kitchen and staff. Table tapas are relaxed and sociable. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Evening receptions in Weston-on-the-Green stay light until about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Give us your final numbers and diets
